forced into central village locations, missionization, and an encomienda peasant-type subsistence. They now had iron to bring them out of the Stone Age. Spanish colonists soon established Guam as a resupply point in the Pacific, on a trade route between Mexico and the Philippines. Intermarriage between islanders and people with Filipino, Spanish, and Mexican ancestry led to the emergence of the Chamorro Mestizo.

With massive technological change and the introduction of new flora and fauna, the westernization of the Chamorro people throughout the successive Spanish, American, and even Japanese dominance has nearly obliterated many indigenous cultural activities. The people still fish, but from fiber glass boats with monofilament line and steel hooks. Gardens are still tended, but the plants are mostly introduced.

Postcontact tradition such as the fiesta with tortillas and red rice are considered to be Chamorro culture.

The most intact survival of a cultural activity of the precontact Chamorro is practice of the suruhano curing. These male and female traditional curers or practitioners of native medicine exist today as living representatives of a past way of life. They have also been affected by Westernization, but to a slight extent, because the bulk of their knowledge and practice is still in its precontact state.

The suruhano or traditional folk doctor of Guam is a cultural adaptation that has persisted through time as a consequence of the continued demand for the practice.

A measure of successful adaptation is the good health of the people in a culture that is interacting with a specific environment. The main function of the suruhano is to promote good health within the community in which he practices. The maintenance of good health involves using a body of knowledge and beliefs in the prevention and cure of body ailments which, in turn, enhance the survival potential of a population. Thus, the suruhano is seen as a single cultural adaptation to the Guam ecosystem, which facilitates adaptation on a large scale. For without good health, other forms of cultural activity are naturally affected. Originally, the belief that curers could improve the state of health of an individual by using their power, knowledge, and material objects arrived on Guam with the first migrations from islands in Southeast Asia and either actual curers or the concepts of curing were brought on initial migrations. Each individual village probably had one suruhano just as the existing villages of present day Guam each have one or at most two suruhanos; for there is usually mistrust among them and interaction between two suruhanos in respect to their profession is mostly when an older suruhano decides it is time to pass his knowledge and abilities on to a younger person.

The suruhano_9 are men, but there are also some women curers termed suruhanas that still practice the traditional methods of curing patients. Generally, the two sexes are both competitive and have little regard for the abilities of the other. The lack of interaction between the suruhano and the suruhana is much greater than the mistrust between two suruhanos or between two suruhanas. A factor that probably adds to the difference between the suruhano and the suruhana is that the practice is usually learned by a member of the same sex as the person passing on the knowl-

so much. He will still ask a woman's husband for perm1sswn to massage the patient in order to avoid any conflict. He emphasized that the woman's breasts are not massaged, only the area surrounding them. Massage is best performed with the clothes removed, but can also be applied to a fully clothed patient. The patient is usually seated throughout the massage, but an extremely ill person can be massaged while lying down.

By massaging the proper area, which might not be the actual painful area, the pressure is released. Juan says that it is like when the clouds move away and the sky becomes clear. He knows that the "bombing" is extremely painful, but he says that it is only "natural pain" and that the end result is the relief from the more serious and deeper "other pain." Juan compares his "bombing" technique to dropping a grain of rice into a full glass of water. If the rice is dropped close to the water's surface, the water is not displaced, but if the grain of rice is dropped far from the surface, the water splashes from the glass. Thus, the harder the massage, the more pressure is displaced.

Tuba vinegar, called palai, is applied during the massage because it helps to allow for a smooth flow of power from the suruhano to the patient. The palai is made by tapping the flower sprout of the coconut palm and mixing a small amount of rain water to the tuba sap. The mixture is stored in glass jugs and allowed to ferment for a couple of years. The palai is spread on the patient's skin surface during the massage. Milk can also be used, but the tuba vinegar is preferred.

Coconut oil is not used by Juan because it is not acid and would act to retard the flow of power by closing the pores in the skin.

If a patient has a headache, Juan may massage the hips. It is up to the particular feeling of the suruhano about the patient and his detection of pressure as to where the concentration is applied. Massage is used for all ailments, but is especially intense and used more frequently with a paralyzed person; for this type of person has an excess of the undesirable pressure. Juan feels that a person who is becoming paralyzed should recognize the early symptoms of paralysis by the numbing needlelike sensations in the fingers. The person should then seek immediate help from the suruhano.

Treating an area other than the painful area is parallel to the methodology of Chinese acupuncture; however, Juan says that acupuncturists can only cause some temporary relief and cannot cure because they do not have a complete knowledge or power. Juan also comments on the operations of Filipino faith healers who are reputed to reach into a person's body with their bare hands and bring out illnesscausing objects such as straw, nails, tacks, and wire. He has talked to patients who have experienced such operations that heal instantly, leaving no scar. Juan feels that such activities are most likely trickery and that they would not affect a lasting cure such as he can.

Juan's massage can cause alterations in body temperature. He states, "I have the power to make you hot if you are cold or cold if you are hot, but I must use something (referring to either his m짜 sage, palai, or medicine)." Fever, or "over-

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I am indebted to N. Chimereg of Yap and to J. Haulifer of Fais for their assistance in mapping the island, and to C. Haruey of Fais for supplying native placenames. The map outlines are drawn from recent aerial photographs of Fais by the Hawaiian Architects and Engineers Corporation. Traverses were measured along all the Fais paths, and the boundaries of the land parcels drawn from the traverses.

Since parcels were not individually surveyed, the boundaries given in Map 2 are approximate. The concentric reef boundaries of Map 1 are not based upon hydrographic information. This research was supported by NSF Grant SOC75-11853 and NIMH Grant 5 F31 MH05316-02.

Subgenus Haplomerismos, new subgenus DIAGNOSIS: No further branching occurs after initial bifurcation of main stem.

Type-Species: Distichopora (Haplomerismos) anceps, by original designation.

Gender: masculine.

DISCUSSION: The 14-17 valid species of Distichopora are closely related, and, for the most part, can be distinguished only by careful examination and comparison (Broch, 1942: 7). D. (H.) anceps, however, is easily distinguished by its peculiar shape and branching; for this reason alone it deserves to be separated from the other Distichopora s.str. However, this growth form does not seem to justify the creation of a new genus. Although two genera in the Errininae are separated on growth form (En·ina forms a bushy colony, Errinopsis has coalescent branching), other characters, such as variations in the presence and number of gastrostyles and dactylostyles, presence of unique structures (e.g., opercula and diaphragms), and structure of gastrostyles, are more important as generic characters.

The nominate subgenus Distichopora will contain all other species of Distichopora thus far described.

ETYMOLOGY: Haplomerismos is formed from the Greek hap los, meaning "single," and merismos, meaning "division." The combination refers to the single division of the main stem (pedicel) into two lobes after which no branching occurs.

MATERIAL EXAMINED: Holotype, USNM 56338, Para types (3), USNM 56339, off Laysan, Hawaiian Islands, 25°55.32'N, 171 °55.13'W, Midway (SANGO) Cruise, Haul 8, 27 July 1972, 658-736 m (Holotype dry; two Paratypes alcoholic, one dry).

DESCRIPTION: The colonies are small; the largest of the four specimens examined (H9lotype) measures 26.4 mm high and 49.2 mm broad. The smallest measures 20.0 mm high and 35.2 mm broad. The ratio of height to width for the four specimens varies only from 53-57%. This species is unique in shape among all Stylasterine species. The colony is firmly attached by a stout main stem (pedicel) slightly elliptical in cross section, with the greater axis directed in the flabellar plane.

The pedicel of the Holotype is 4.4 X 5.5 mm in diameter and about 12 mm tall.

It supports two strongly compressed, elongated, horizontal lobes, which grow in opposite directions. In two specimens the lobes are uniplanar; in the other two specimens the lobes produce a slightly curved surface (Fig. 5). The lobes, which are 2.5-3.5 mm thick, are separated by a distinct notch or broad indentation, which is aligned with the pedicel. The lobes are invariably asymmetrical; one is either longer than the other or bears an additional small "shoulder" near the notch.

Distinct ridges or "veins" are present on both the pedicel and flabellar surfaces.

The ridges begin at the base of the pedicel and may continue all the way to the distal sulcus or terminate at any point in between. Up to six additional shorter ridges, originating on the lobes, may radiate outward on each flabellar surface.

COLOR ALIVE: The Guam animals are like those described by Risbec (1928) in having orange on the border of the parapodia, tips of rhinophores, and anterior of foot. They are also very dark green with pale green or yellowish clear areas.

The Guam specimens are distinguished by a single row of eight whitish spots along the side of the parapodia.

COLOR PRESERVED: The preserved animals are light tan with a broad irregular, dark submarginal border on the inner edge of the parapodia and dark on the tips of the rhinophores and on the head.

RADULA: In a 25.4 mm animal there were ten teeth in the ascending series, eleven in the descending, and a pile of loose teeth in the ascus. The teeth are as described by Risbec (1928, 1953) with fine lateral denticulations. The tooth in use (Fig. 6d, 6e) was 110 ,urn long and 42 ,urn wide at the widest point.

HABITAT: Guam specimens of Elysia gracilis have been found from the reef flat to 2.4 m. One specimen was found in May, two in June, one in October and two in November. No definitive algal relationship has been established.

SPECIMENS: All six specimens have been found at Bile and Agat Bays on the leeward side of Guam.

Elysia gracilis was described from New Caledonia (Risbec, 1928) and has also been observed by the authors at Pagan and Maug in the Mariana Islands.

REMARKS: The Guam specimens differ from Risbec's description in having a single row of eight whitish spots rather than eight rows of whitish spots and they also do not have the white "T" on the head. Other than that, the description, color and radula match that given by Risbec.

DESCRIPTION: The animals (Fig. 9) are long and thin with extremely large parapodia generally held close but not necessarily together when the animal is crawling. Specimens collected vary from 28.6 to 50 mm in length with a 46.0 mm specimen being 24.0 mm wide with parapodia flattened. When on the host algae the parapodia are quite often opened. The parapodia rise abruptly anteriorly and remain high for about two thirds of the body length then slope toward the tail.

The pericardium (Fig. 5f) is elongate with a very obvious venous network composed of four major veins with numerous branches which are anastomose extending to the edge of the 路parapodia. The anus opens laterally on the right side in the upper part of the transverse furrow separating the head from the rest of the body.

COLOR ALIVE: The color of the Guam specimens basically matches the description of Kelaart (1859). The living animal appears somewhat olive drab in color with the green being caused by internal pigmentation. The edge of the parapodia is lined in opaque black with a submarginal band of rust.

NOTES SECOND RECORD OF MATSUDAIRA'S STORM-PETREL

(Oceanodroma matsudairae)

FROM GUAM, MARIANA IsLANDS.

The Matsudaira's Storm-Petrel breeds on the Bonin and Volcano Islands. Its range extends from its breeding ground through northwest Australia to the Indian Ocean where it winters (King, 1967; King and Dickinson, 1975). Two were sighted at sea by Ben King on 24 April 1960, about 4 miles west of Apra Harbor, Guam (King, 1976).

On 28 June 1974, between 0700-0730, while entering Apra Harbor, Guam, on board the USS JOUETT (CG-29) I saw approximately 12-15 Matsudaira's Storm-Petrels following the ship. The weather was bright overcast with intermittent rain squalls. The coloration noted at the time was light brown underparts and dark brown upperparts. The underwings were light brown with dark edges. The upperwings were dark brown with a light brown diagonal bar from the alular quills to the lower scapulars. The upperwing also had a distinctive

white patch on the primaries. The StormPetrels followed the ship for approximately one-half hour until the ship entered the harbor mouth.

Photographs were obtained and are on file in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C. and in the San Diego Natural History Museum, San Diego, California.

Recent Pacific Bibliographies-II. Since the first note on recent Pacific bibliographies [Micronesica 7(1-2): 238-239., 1971] a number of specialized articles have appeared.

The Pacific series started in 1969 by ~.J:...H. Kraus of Honolulu has continued, and twenty titles have been completed. Mter June 1971, the series became "Pacific Islands Studies and Notes." As with the earlier ones, each begins with an introduction to . the geographic area including a brief historic sketch, census information, and some physical features. Each entry is identified by a number which is cross-referenced in the Classification into anthropology, birds, general des·cription, geography, health, and the like.

The Union Catalog of Guam and Pacific Area Materials in the collections of the Guam Public Library and the University of Guam Micronesian Area Research Center was prepared by the staff of the Nieves M. Flores Memorial Library, Agana, Guam in 1974. The 464-page report contains some 3500 card-catalog entries which includes regional material in the form of government documents, theses and dissertations, typescripts, and miscellaneous reports. The actual Micronesian Area Research Center card catalog contains many more entries, since more in-depth analytics have been done at the University's own special collections. At present more than 14,000 titles have been catalogued.

The Micronesian Area Research Center itself has published a Bibliography Relative to the Development of Water Resources, Territory of Guam compiled by E. G. Johnston and A. L. Williams as Special Publication No. 1. Each title is given a subject, relating it to some feature of water resource development, and the location of each document, mostly unpublished, is given.

A Micronesian Nutrition Bibliography [Micronesica 8(1-2): 197-210, 1972], compiled by E. G. Johnston, was prepared to cover a variety of nutrition-related subjects between the years 1950 and 1970. This list supplements Fanning's, 1951, "Pacific Islands Nutrition Bibliography."

Many of Johnston's entries are annotated, and a subject index and a geographic area index are

Vol. 14. June 1978 also included.

Micronesia 1944-1974. A Bibliography of Anthropological and Related Source Materials by M. Marshall and J.D. Nason and published by Human Relations Area Files, New Haven, in 1975 covers the period following Utinomi's "Bibliography of Micronesia." Since " related source materials" cover a broad subject area, many diverse subject topics are included-agriculture, art, botany, economics, geology, medical, military, and zoology to mention a few.

The book is divided into the main bibliography, guide to topics and areas, and maps. There appear to be some major gaps. As a zoologist, I note only thirty titles in the zoology topic.

Printed in computer-program form, this valuable reference to Micronesia list more than 1900 titles.

An Annotated Bibliography of Philippine Bibliographies : 1965-1974 was compiled by V. G. Hart in 1974. This bibliography cross references some 283 entries, most of which are annotated. The publication was prepared at the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at Northern Illinois University and is Occasional Paper No. 4 (160 p.). It is available only through the Cellar Book Shop (18090 Wyoming, Detroit, Michigan 48221).

A Micronesian marine bibliography program has been funded at the University of Guam Marine Laboratory for several years by the Office of Sea Grant Programs. To date three separate bibliographies have appeared.

Bibliography of Marine Benthic Algae in Micronesia R. T. Tsuda and F. 0 . Wray [Micronesica 13(1): 85-120, 1977] is the first major subject-matter listing to be published. The bibliography is divided into four useful sections.

The first provides a list, a systematic list of higher taxa to genera. The second, an alphabetized checklist of all algal species reported from Micronesia, also denotes species originally described from Micronesia, along with its type locality. The third section lists all the islands from which algae have been reported. Al}d the fourth is the reference list to the publications.

Geographically, the Gilbert Islands and Ellice Islands are included along with the Mariana, Caroline, and Marshall Islands.

The Guam Coastal Planning Bibliography by M. J. Gawel was a cooperative publication of the University of Guam Sea Grant Program and the Guam Coastal Zone Management Program.

It was published as Sea Grant Publication UGSG 76-07 in September 1976. All entries are listed by subject, not author. Each of the twenty-two subject areas is further subdivided into categories. All of the subject categories are listed at the beginning of the publication.

Even though author listing is more efficient, this bibliography is valuable because it contains much " unpublished" archival-type material.

Through the Sea Grant Program funds were available to acquire pertinent information not otherwise available on Guam. One of the major efforts was to obtain copies of translations of Japanese publications. The result was Japanese Translations Available at the Micronesian Area Research Center compiled by L. G .

Eldredge and issued as University of Guam Marine Laboratory Technical Report 32 in January 1977. The list includes some 270 translated entries and is cross-referenced. The original documents are on microfilm or are photocopied from typescripts. In addition, several other translations are available on microfilm through the Human Relations Area Files.

One additional specialty bibliography, Preliminary List of References Pertaining to Tinian

by L. G. Eldredge was prepared for aU. S. Air Force contract to carry out environmental studies on Tinian and was published as Appendix B in University of Guam Marine Laboratory Technical Report 9, issued in January 1974.

This note was prepared partly under the auspices of the University of Guam Sea Grant Program (Grant No. 04-5-158-45).
